Operation Wedding Dress #4

So it is week five, but technically weigh in number 4 this week, as I don't count the first week because that was the start weight and blahdy blah. So I have really stuck to the plan again this week, but not done any exercise, so I was thinking a 2lb loss would be great, for not being too active. I was pretty nervous about this weeks weigh in, I don't know why, I think it was maybe because of the bank holiday throwing the days off. Even though we did have a bank holiday though, I still ate healthily. 

I got to the meeting super early last night, because I didn't want to wait around behind everyone getting weighed in - early bird catches the worm! So I gingerly approached the scales, telling my lovely leader that I thought it was going to be a maximum of 2lbs. I stepped on, and low and behold another three lbs has come off! My leader said 'You are making this look far too easy, Till'. I honestly couldn't believe it, I am really pleased with that because I didn't think I'd done so well. Here's the card and the little apple sticker to prove it!


So I now have a total loss of 1 stone and 3lbs. I go on holiday a week tonight, and I am hoping I can stay strong. I think even if I maintain the weight I'll be happy, but I'd be upset to have put some on. I haven't had an alcoholic drink for four weeks, I'm not a big drinker anyway but a glass of Rose at the weekend or at the pub with family has now turned into a very exciting pint of iced water, with a slice of lemon or lime. To be honest it's not bothering me at all, If I'm not going out for a proper drink, then having just the one is pointless. 

After the meetings, if I feel that the weigh in has gone well then I'll go to Sainsbury's and treat myself to a Weight watchers pud, a little bit of what you fancy does you good! Last night I really wanted a salad because every dinner I do seems to have a carby side, such as noodles, rice or pasta, so I tried to 'saladise' my meal.
I watched Julia from MissChievous new video on Youtube, which is a healthy easy lunch recipe video, and since watching that I was craving a salad. Craving a salad? I would never have put that before! Link to her video HERE. She is an inspiration, and actually re-tweeted my picture and commented asking how it was! She seems really nice I'd love to meet her as she has lost a lot of weight herself. 

So it is a chicken, grape and yoghurt based salad, and I just threw in some beetroot and a lettuce layer. The full instructions are on the video linked above if you fancy giving it a go. It was dead easy and quick, and I've had it in a wrap today too for lunch. My other half who if had lettuce would burn his insides actually really liked this too. Win win!


So one weigh in left before the holiday! Let's see if I can actually get another three lbs to make it an all round 20 before holiday, that'd be nice. Any tips and tricks please don't hesitate to let me know!
